sigh.

The game got taken away when the Big 12 formed in the mid 90s.

It sort of got relegated like Auburn/Florida. OU/Nebraska was always a rivalry that existed out of both programs being good and in the same conference. The have a state between them, so it was never really a border war. OU/tu was always more important to the Sooners, and in the 80s, Oklahoma State began to steal the thunder of the Huskers and started getting the game during rivalry week.
